Up Do

What I'm really liking right now are Updo Hairstyles! There's just something about it that makes me feel elegant and polished! I believe this kind of hairstyle suits me best because it makes my face look less round. LOL! I have actually observed that I feel more confident and in control when I put my hair up! Maybe it is because I'm a nurse and I'm used to putting my hair in a bun before working.

Hair and Make-up for both events are by Benchfix Salon Glorietta 4.

Up Do # 1: My hairstyle during my Graduation Day (March 31, 2012):

♥ Black Asymmetrical Dress and Earrings both from Forever21

This is actually a bridal hairstyle but I still went with this 'cos it looks so pretty and sweet! We were actually required to put our hair in a bun because we had Pinning ceremony before the actual graduation rites. I did  not want to put my hair in a bun so I decided to go with this. I actually got lots of compliments for this hairstyle!

Up Do #2: During my cousin Princess's debut I used Jessica Alba's side-braided updo as an inspiration for my hairstyle:

I am actually into braids nowadays! I have a little secret to tell you, guys. I learned how to braid my hair just last summer!!! hahaha! My next goal is to master the waterfall braid and I'll probably make a tutorial so watch out for it!

 

♥ Blue Bondage Dress with Mesh Sleeves and Earrings both from Forever 21; Ring borrowed from my Mom

My bondage dress is already very sexy so I thought putting my hair up is the best way to make my look more sophisticated than sexy. I also like the fact that I did not have to worry about my hair getting unruly by the end of the night.

... And since I have a lot of time now, I'll probably practice and try to do these hairstyles on my own! ♥

How about you? Do you also like Up Do hairstyles? :)
